Question about Flash Fire

I just bred a useable Houndour and it has Flash Fire…. Does that work in the same way as Lightning Rod, where it attracts fire attacks??

It probably doesn't matter too much as I plan on Mega evolving...---If you agree that Non-Specific Action Figure has to be in the next Super Smash Bros game, send me a PM. Number of people who agree: 28 - updated 2 April 2014

Just hoping to re-directs fire attacks from fire weak Pokemon as I plan on using Houndoom in a doubles Sun team…. if not, I can easily turn this into a singles team..---If you agree that Non-Specific Action Figure has to be in the next Super Smash Bros game, send me a PM.
